So the NRA wants armed security guards at k-12 schools?

100,000 schools in the country. In my town, most schools have 2-3 entrances with our high school having 8. We're talking spending billions of dollars for iffy safety at best.

How hard would it be for your average gun toting psycho to hide a handgun and take out the security guard first thing?

Lets pretend it works. How about college campuses, shopping malls, city parks, commuter trains,restaurants,grocery stores, kids sports events. We paying for guarding them too?

And what's up with the right spending all this money? All to save preserve the ability for a few navy seal pretenders weekend shooting pleasure by not banning clip sizes and assault weapons.

    Many schools in the US have police officers assigned to them aren't they the same as armed guards.....

    In a not perfect world only the good guys would turn in their guns and we would be helpless and at the

    mercy of the bad guys.Too bad we will never know if a police officer was assigned to that school how many lives could he have saved. Drugs and drunk driving have been against the law for years and that does not help.

    We could use the money we give to countries that hate us,our children are more important!!

    There's already a tax on them. It can be referred to as a income tax, and it's speculated to pay for matters like the police. I have a greater thought. Why do not we enable citizens to hold far and wide, so that if there's a further shooter, they may be able to discontinue them proper away as an alternative of cowering in a nook? Armed citizens use a gun to protect themselves daily, most instances with out firing a shot.

    I don't think the NRA have really thought this through ... at a large school you'd need several guards ... if it's a small school what happens if there is an attack during a guard's comfort break etc etc ... I say get rid of the automatic and semi automatic guns ... period ... !

    You could simply add a school campus pass through to the duties of the patrol cops we already employ.

    The fact that actual cops are on every school campus at some unknown time during the school day might discourage school from being seen as a "soft target".

    They're just dodging the issue.

    Their obsession with guns?

    They're an insecure mass of human beings.

    Most NRA dudes I've known are very weird. They act tough and act conservative... but they are actually the opposite inside.

    Weird, weird, weird.

    We'll spend billions to preserve a type of weapon that has already costed us billion in lost lives and security?

    Weird, weird, weird people.

    "N.R.A." Not Really American.

  • What do you call an armed security guard, lounging around after years of no action or threats?

    the first target of a deranged gunman.

    And the debt will result worse once it happened cause it's expensive. But it's best at security though.

    99.9995% of those guns are used for "navy seal pretenders weekend shooting pleasure" and .0005% are used to kill large number of people in areas claimed as "gun free zones".

    Banning them all is the best solution you can find?

    Tax each bullet a $1000 and use that money.
